- Big power spike once Diana, Teemo, and Pyke hit 3 stars
- Two damage threats (Pyke and Teemo) make itemizing flexible
- Rarely played, so its units are usually free
Weaknesses

Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 5 with only the excess until Diana, Teemo, and Pyke are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Needlessly Large Rod, Last Whisper, and Morellonomicon on Pyke.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Mystic Pyke.
